Mascara guide: everything you need to know about your mascara

Do you know the entire range of mascara in the drugstore and perfumery by heart? Seed! We also! The search for the one miracle cure brought us almost to the edge of despair. Until we came across the ultimate mascara guide …

Take out your pens and notepads, we have important things to announce – it's worth taking notes! After all, how many times have we invested our money in sinfully expensive mascara to be disappointed with the end result? That won't happen to you with our brush guide, we promise.

The way to the perfect look

Everyone imagines something different under the ultimate lash curl. Some prefer extra-long eyelashes, others want particularly thick hair. Depending on the finish you want, you should also choose the shape of your mascara.

Straight and thin

Do you have few and short eyelashes? No reason to bury your head in the sand: With small, straight brushes you can add a little extra length to your eyelashes, as the mascara catches even the finest hairs.

Straight and bushy

For all of the lucky ones among us who are naturally blessed with thick, long and especially many eyelashes, a straight, slightly wider brush is ideal. It tames a thick lash line and ensures a neat, natural result.

Tapering

Are you longing for a cat-eye look? Then a tapered brush is the non-plus-ultra for you. The shape also captures fine hairs in the corner of the eye, but provides a lot of volume, especially on the outer edge.

Comb

Comb brushes are usually made of plastic and not of synthetic fibers, so they are not so flexible in handling, but can be worked with very precisely. Perfect for everyone who wants particularly long eyelashes and who don't care too much about the curl.

Hourglass shaped

This brush shape is probably everybody's darling: the hourglass-shaped curve of the mascara ensures ultimate volume and captures even the smallest hairs. You are guaranteed to wow your eyes!

Bent

The classic among the mascaras: Large, curved brushes provide more curl and bend our hairs upwards, which makes the eyes appear larger.
